If you want to be able to get in & out of the camper, load & unload gear while the camper is on the dolly, then you would probably want to have 1 or 2 cross supports to give the floor of the camper some extra support. If you are just storing the camper on the dolly or using it to move the...

... inability to search for the info so readily available! See this thread => A better forum search! Sometimes (maybe lots of times) I use Google to search the WTW forums instead of the Forum Search button. Mike

Here are a couple more camper dolly pictures I have saved. Stan, what are your thoughts if the camper should or must be supported in the middle of this dolly? Does the size of the camper maybe make a difference... a 8' camper should or must? Mike

Does anyone here have a good line on a rv dolly of some sort? See this thread http://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/showthread.php?t=679 Post #27 Mike

I asked Jeff at ATC (THE welder) about where/how to support the camper off the truck and he said, "All corners and the middle." I used three "Heavy Duty Mover's Dollys" 18" x 30" x 6 1/2" rated at 1000 lbs. I already had two (I paid $14 each) and bought another one not on sale ($28). I also...

AGM and lead-acid batteries have different charge profiles. Very true. The BatteryMinder article talks about lead-acid batteries. Yes, an AGM battery still has lead and acid => http://www.batterystuff.com/tutorial_battery.html3. Wet Cell (flooded), Gel Cell, and Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) are...

I also like the divders in the drawer/under the sink. BUT, my wife says I must do work on our house before I can customize the camper. :( Mike

When removing the camper from the truck, unplug the 12 volt camper-to-truck cable before you totally drive out from under camper! I only managed to destroy the plug and not the socket in the side of the truck bed. Mike :o

You are supposed to receive it on Monday. Well, I will not be home for a few days. Monday, July 28, I got a call from my daughter that her baby is coming early Tuesday, July 29, instead of August 7. So, after a 15 hour over night drive, I am here in the Gastonia NC hospital with my new grand...

Mike, If you need a new separator, just give us a call and I will send one right out to you. Per our telephone call, please send a new separator sometime this week (no hurry). Mike

I finally (4th time is a charm) got a hold of a Sure Power Tech person that actually understood or had experience with the camper that is NOT connected to the truck! He had me adding more and more and more load to the camper battery to see if the 1314 relay will de-energize at about 12.25...

I noticed a small propane leak on my Hawk on the last trip we took as well. Ours appears to be in the camper system somewhere because the odor goes away when we shut off the valve at the tank. Does your camper have the Propane Gas Detector? Here is the Propane Gas Detector Manual =>...

This information below is what one of our sales guys put together a few years back. I think it is accurate ? Assuming he copied all that info from this web site => http://www.costumes.org/ADVICE/TEXTILES/olefin.htm :eek: Mike

If anyone is interested, I could post in more detail but just wanted to get this out to everyone about the MPG Yes, please provide more details and pictures. :D I "assume" the 90 degree angle aluminum is placed at the front edge in side the 4" tube, or do you also have the 90 degree angle...

What a difference a month makes. Was not (apparently) an option when I bought. See this 07-30-2007 thread http://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/showthread.php?t=628, post #13 Mike

hanging wire is for a foot operated water pump switch. easier than having to use the factory switch. Sorry to bring up this old post, but can you share more info about the foot operated water pump switch? I am thinking a switch about knee height would be about the best... nothing to step on...

Ben provided thorough, expert answers to all my questions. He spent lots of time, not only making the sale, but ensuring I ordered the right unit for my needs! Yes, I went straight to ATC because of Ben. In fairness I did not have ANY problems talking with FWC, I just liked Ben better. I'll...

The engagement voltage is supposed to be on the main battery side, not the aux side, (on a 1314). (Paragraph on top beside the picture of the gadget.) Yup, I forgot about that. :o I think yours is malfunctioning. Yes, I am thing that also. :( Like the "Auxiliary Start" circuit thinks it is...
